Abstract

Building on our earlier research this paper addresses the lived experience of black students in VET. It samples nine young people (male and female, 16-25), drawn from a northern provincial and metropolitan English city. It addresses, what has in recent years become an under-researched area, the lived experience of African-Caribbean and mixed heritage youth in VET. The paper points towards the salience of analyses of social capital, metropolitan and provincial cities as well as labour market conditions on these processes. In addition, it seeks to locate the discussion within its socio-economic context as well as the manner in which race is both historically and contemporaneously embedded in the division of labour.
